Nrthwnd Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 For those, asking about the safety restraints: Lap-bars ONLY. NO seat belts. YES! Nothing better just a lap bar between you and possible coaster ejection, LOL! My home coaster is just with lap bars, and has been that way for over 50 years. It rocks, that way. But - must get back here, eventuallly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kooky Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 So with this pics the name "Wodan - Timbur Coaster" is officially confirmed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackie Chan Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 ^Yes! And Wodan it is... When looking back at the artworks released by the park earlier I can imagine what parts of the ride they reveal. Except for this one: It looks like two fire spitting sculptures sitting on both sides of the track. Isn't that exciting!?! Does anyone have an idea of what they are and where they will be? We will hopefully find out more about those guys soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cal1br3tto Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 ^They'd better be serious about that. Even without fire, it would look ultra-cool, but with it? Completely amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammmmmy Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 ^^ I can see that being a part of the station fly-through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramius Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 This will never be at the station fly-through! The sculptures will spit fire and i think the sculptures will be at the top of the lifthill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryce232 Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I think it would fit pretty well coming out of the station fly-through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackie Chan Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 ^I thought so too. Right after the station fly through there is a little bunny hop part before entering the Atlantica turnaround. I think it would very well fit at the top of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robinschroder Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 It will be interesting to see TüV's reaction (the notoriously strict German safety authority) to fire effects on this wooden coaster... Although the fact that GCI / Magic Mountain already made it work probably helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyfingers Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 ^ I agree. Fire and flammable material are not exactly best friends! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kooky Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 (edited) It will be interesting to see TüV's reaction (the notoriously strict German safety authority) to fire effects on this wooden coaster... Although the fact that GCI / Magic Mountain already made it work probably helps! Yeah, like you said... the german TÜV is really notoriously strict and i can't imagine that they will allow this, but i hope i was wrong and they get a permission to build this nice theming! I know from paint which makes things more fire resistant, but fire so close to wood, even if they statues are built out of another material, i am not sure that they will really built this like they painted it in the artwork... but like i said, i hope they will do Edited December 20, 2011 by Kooky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ernierocker Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Maybe, if the German Safety Authority turns down the idea, they can use Dare Devil Dive "fire" instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is planned for the top of the lift hill, then it is FULL OF GODLIKE WIN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beatle11 Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 That is one big CGI! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cal1br3tto Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I just can't shut up about this ride. Don't I know someone within driving distance of the park? I know it's a GCI, but some of those hills and turns just look so...evil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

televisedconfession Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 That's an awesome looking drop. I can't wait to get on this ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coaster_dude2002 Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Really looking forward to checking this out next year! It just keeps on looking better and better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I know it's only a wintertime addition, but I really like the look of the giant Ferris wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpengeist04 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I can see why this park is a fan favorite. Heck, just by looking at pictures and povs, this park is probably in my top 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaMiTsPaT Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 The new GCI really adds to the skyline! I love how it is set between Supersplash and Blue Fire. Can't wait to see the pov of this ride when it opens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Thriller Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 This ride is going to look stunning at night! So sexy. --James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomNick Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 This GCI looks absolutely stunning! Europa is very high up (if not tops) on my list of European parks I'd like to check out someday. That is one impressive looking skyline, and the effort they put into theming their rides looks top-notch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
